In "Depressed Area," Archie’s usual charm takes a backseat as he finds himself unexpectedly rattled by a horror film—only to discover his nighttime panic wasn’t a secret, thanks to a revealing confession from Betty. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Vincent DeCarlo, this 1964 gem captures the awkward, endearing moments that define teenage friendship. The cover, by Samm Schwartz, perfectly captures the lighthearted tension of the moment.
